For Enterprise Open Source Adoption, Support Problems Still Loom

The annual Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), sponsored by Computerworld, took place in San Francisco this week, and, as usual at the conference, Northbridge Venture Partners released its Future of Open Source survey results. The survey was done in conjunction with the 451 Group, and we’ve taken a preliminary look at the survey’s top-line results, which pointed to substantial opportunities for open source in the cloud and on mobile devices. The survey also includes some data on enterprise adoption of open source, and plans to adopt open source in enteprises, where it is becoming clear that many organizaitons are warming up to it.
